How to keep your eye care programme going after a donor leaves

Many eye care programmes are supported by donors and once this funding stops, they can collapse. Bo Wiafe, Regional Director for Africa: Operation Eyesight Universal, explains how some programmes and institutions have been able to keep going despite losing their donor funding.

Dr Wiafe has had the opportunity to work with government, church-run and privately owned institutions in Ghana, Zambia, Kenya and Rwanda, and he shares what has been done to promote sustainability in some of these organisations.
